I've been reading a few diaries on here and a few blogs on other sites about how Sarah Palin and Todd are getting a divorce, and that they had affairs. All I have to say is...
REALLY? Are you serious? I mean come on. As stupid as Sarah Palin is, I highly doubt she is stupid enough to have an affair, much less divorce her husband. I know people are going on about "Well she didn't have her wedding ring on during he 'farewell' address!". So what? So she didn't have it on. Doesn't mean anything. Do you really think she wants to be lumped in there with the C-street loons, Ensign, and Sanford among others in this political climate when Republicans are being outed as hypocrites? But seriously, lets examine this closely and take a walk with me down Rational Lane and meet up on the corner of Sane Blvd.
- Sarah Palin, while not a book smart person, or the wise to the ways of the world in terms of politics, does know the way of the world in terms of MONEY. And when it comes to her making money, she is a very shrewd person. She would not put that in trouble no matter what.
- A Sarah Palin affair would have horrible ramifications on her personal character, and leave her open to an insane amount of criticism in her personal life. Unlike her political career, where she can quit and run and hide, and wait til the heat dies down. She would NEVER live this down. This would be on her til the day she died. Everytime her name was spoken in the media, it would always be brought up. It would make her and her family and the republican party to be the ultimate of ultimate hypocrites after painting her family as the All-American as apple pie, pure in family values family. Whatever she did in the future, it would never be left behind, which brings us to...
- If Sarah Palin had an affair and was getting a divorce, it would just ruin any potential money making opportunities she would have as a private citizen. That book deal? Gone. Her gaining her own syndicated radio show? Gone. Her getting her own TV show on a mainstream media network outlet? Oh Hell no. Fox News wouldn't even touch her with a 50 foot stick. Speaking engagements? Most certainly no. Nobody would pay to hear a cheater, and a quitter speak about staying the course and family values.
- Don't you think whoever had an affair with Sarah and Todd would be singing it from the mountain top? This would be their chance to cash in as any number of news networks would want that story. Trust me, if this were true, the story would have broken the second the affair was over.
So that sums it up for me. I never thought I'd be defending Sarah Palin, but come on you've gotta admit. Even this is just beyond stupid, and she is just not that stupid.
